title: [Postoperative infusion therapy in abdominal surgery (author's transl)].
abstract: In 22 patients undergoing abdominal surgery two different types of peripheral venous infusion therapy were applied after maximal fasting time of 3 days. Group 1 received an amino acid-carbohydrate-electrolyte infusion, group 2 only a carbohydrate-electrolyte infusion. There was no significant difference in the plasma protein fractions between the two groups. The measurement of potassium balance, serum urea and alpha-amino nitrogen showed a reduction of protein catabolism in group I. This indicates that the solution with amino acid is preferable.
